A review of femtosecond lasers in LASIK

What is it about?

The most widely used refractive surgery to improve vision and to replace the use of spectacles or contact lenses is FS-LASIK, in which a hinged flap is created in the cornea of the eye with the femtosecond laser, then the corneal flap is turn away, the exposed part of the cornea is reshaped with the excimer laser, and then the flap is repositioned. We reviewed the surgical outcomes of FS-LASIK based on the use of different commercially used femtosecond lasers.

Why is it important?

There were differences between femtosecond lasers based on efficacy, and intraoperative and postoperative complications. All femtosecond lasers were predictable and safe for making corneal flaps in LASIK.
